" BEIJING， Nov. 23 (Xinhua) -- Spanish football coach Jose Gonzalez was appointed new head coach of Chinese Super League (CSL) club Beijing Guoan， the capital-based club officially announced here on Wednesday.

""Jose's coaching ability meets Guoan's goals. He is an experienced football coach with Spanish football style which represents the advanced technical and tactical trends nowadays，"" the club's official announcement said， ""Jose will come with his solid coaching team which are very young and full of confidence and they are going to be integrated into our club in a very short time. ""

The 50-year-old spaniard is familiar with Beijing and CSL. He had been an assistant of Guoan's former head coach Gregorio Manzano， his Spanish compatriot， for two seasons. Jose was appointed as the head coach of La Liga team Granada in February this year and helped the Andalucian team stay in the top-flight at the end of the season.

According to the club， Jose will arrive in China in January to join the squad.

The Jalal Brothers, a trio who film scare pranks and post them to video sharing platform YouTube, came under fire overnight for their latest prank in which they filmed fake "drive-by shootings" in order to scare people.

The brothers, aged between 16 and 20, have gained millions of followers online for their scare pranks, which have included throwing a duffle bag "bomb" into crowded areas while dressed in Arabic dress, and ripping open a vest to reveal a fake bomb strapped to their chest.

In the fallout to their latest scare prank, the trio appeared on a number of local television stations to explain their actions, but Victoria's Police Commissioner Graham Ashton on Thursday revealed that the brothers had been taken into custody.

"We have the three in our custody at the moment for interview," Ashton told Melbourne radio station 3AW.

"We'll look to charge them with whatever they can be charged with."

"This behavior is just a ridiculous display. We don't want to encourage it in any way because of the obvious dangers involved."

Meanwhile, criminal lawyer David Galbally said the conduct of the trio was "absolutely" illegal, and said they could be brought up on assault charges.

"When you put somebody in terror and threaten them - whether it's a joke, or not - it's an assault," Galbally said.

The Fair Work Commission announced in its annual review that minimum wages would rise from July 1 to 640.90 AU dollars per week (594 U.S. dollars), an increase of 18.70 AU dollars (17.33 U.S. dollars).

The decision will directly affect about 1.5 million Australians on award wages and strikes a middle ground between the rival pay demands of employers and workers.

Representatives of both groups criticized the decision, the former saying the increase would harm business and job prospects, the latter saying the pay rise was insufficient for those on lower incomes when the economy was generally performing strongly.

Commission president Justice Iain Ross said the decision reflected next to zero growth in the real value of award wages at a time when other employees in the country had enjoyed substantial pay increases.

"The deterioration in the relative living standards of award- reliant workers; the needs of the low-paid; the recent widespread improvement in labor productivity growth; the historically low levels of real unit labor costs; and the absence, in aggregate, of cost pressures from the labor market are all factors favoring a real increase in minimum wages," he said.

The country's peak union body, the Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU), had sought a weekly rise of 27 AU dollars (25 U.S. dollars) but employers said they would not be able to afford an increase of more than 8.50 (7.88 U.S. dollars) AU dollars a week.

Several business groups criticized the rise.

The Australian Industry Group (AIG) said it would put more pressure on struggling employers, particularly in manufacturing, retail and tourism.

"Many industry sectors and particularly those exposed to import competition are experiencing very tough business conditions," AIG chief executive Innes Willox said in a statement.

The Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI) said the increase would "destroy" job opportunities.

"There is no generosity in raising wages to the point where people can't find work when they need it," ACCI chief executive Kate Carnell said in a statement.

Meanwhile, Australian Retailers Association executive director Russell Zimmerman said it would prompt many businesses to sack staff.

"The retail industry is more reliant on pay scales than any other industry, and also suffers a highly disproportionate effect in minimum wage increases ... due to deregulated hours and penalties across all retail awards," he said in a statement.

Unions, however, point to the widening gap between the minimum wage and average earnings and warn Australia could follow the United States' experience of creating a class of "working poor."

ACTU secretary Dave Oliver said the decision was particularly unfair given national accounts figures showed stronger than expected economic growth.
